Rkatsiteli

Rkatsiteli, a white-grape variety, is grown mainly in the Kakheti region but it is also present in other regions of Georgia and outside. In Kakheti, it reaches full ripening started from mid-September and up to the beginning of October. For producing superb wines its yield from a hectare shouldn’t exceed seven or eight tones. In Georgia, Rkatsiteli is used for making both, classic (European) and typical Kakhetian, amphora (Kvevri) fermented Vins de Table, Vins de Pays and AOC’s. The Rkatsiteli wine material is often blended with Kakhetian Mtsvane.  Rkatsiteli also produces a large range of white wines, from fortified to ice-wines.
